14 Starting a quarrel is like letting out water;stop it before strife breaks out!
15 The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent – both of them are an abomination to the Lord.
16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool,since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?
17 A friend loves at all times,and a relative is born to help in adversity.
18 The one who lacks wisdom strikes hands in pledge,and puts up financial security for his neighbor.
19 The one who loves a quarrel loves transgression;whoever builds his gate high seeks destruction.
20 The one who has a perverse heart does not find good,and the one who is deceitful in speech falls into trouble.
